The interesting thing is that when you see her photographs you can notice a lot of technique, she knew what she was doing and that is absolutely amazing. Of course, we are talking about a woman who took over 150,000 photographs, she absolutely knew what she was doing, but nowadays, even with the automatic cameras we have, there are people who don't know how to take pictures. ]]> 2018-09-24 05:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/284859030 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/284859866 The first descriptions of an camera obscura were made by Aristoteles, who observed that if light entered through a small hole in a dark room it produced an image of the exterior on the opposite wall of the orifice. He also noted that this image was inverted and that its size increased as the exposure surface moved away from the hole. Later, the camera was transformed in a drawing machine by Leonardo Da Vinci and it was reduced to a portable box (this procedure was use by a lot of diffent artists like Vermeer and Canaletto)]]> 2018-09-24 05:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/284859866 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/284860642 It was an optical toy created by William George Horner, consisting of a circular drum with small windows cut out .

Later, when he saw it actually work, he made an official version made of a system with lots of mirrors and a lantern for projection. The difference between the praxinosxope and the zoetrope is that the pictures were viewed in succession by reflection from a series of narrow vertical mirrors placed at the center of the drum. The drum is spun by hand, and the drawings comes to life. Also, its construction is more accurate so the advantages are are real, you don't have to worry about tired eyesight and there is a minor blur of what is presented in the animation.]]> 2018-09-24 05:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/284860927 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/284861718 One of the things that Foundation gave me was the pleasure to know Cartier-Bresson, he is easily one of my favorite photographers nowadays, but I've realised I don't know much about him, so I decided to make a small research about him. He was one of the pioneers of the street photography, he was a person who knew the direction photography was going to take, because he was already in the art world, he was part of a group of surrealistic artists. He knew art was changing and photography needed something new too. The historian Peter Galassi said "The Surrealists approached photography in the same way that Aragon and Breton...approached the street: with a voracious appetite for the usual and unusual...The Surrealists recognized in plain photographic fact an essential quality that had been excluded from prior theories of photographic realism. They saw that ordinary photographs, especially when uprooted from their practical functions, contain a wealth of unintended, unpredictable meanings."]]> 2018-09-24 06:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/284861718 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/284863394 In typography, a serif is a small line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol. The reason they have these tiny feet is actually because of stone carving. Back in the days when people needed to carve out Latin letters in stone, the designer would usually paint the letters they wanted with a paintbrush. But the stonemasons would have to carve it out from that painting. And that stone carving created these serifs on the letters.People tend to use Serif typefaces for something quite serious. This is because of their traditional and conservative look. Also, they are divided in four groups: Old Style, Transitional, Modern and Slab-Serif.

A typeface without serifs is called sans-serif (from the french "sans" means without), they don't have any decorative elements either. Sans-Serif is slightly more modern than the serifs. They’re also subdivided into four families: Grotesque, Neo-Grotesque, Humanist and Geometric. Sans-Serif have slightly increased readability compared to Serifs. Which is why Sans-Serif is a great typeface for the body of text.

The origin of typographical ligatures comes from the invention of writing with a stylus on fibrous material (like paper) or clay. Medieval scribes who wrote in Latin who needed a way to speed up the process of written communication found that conjoining letters and abbreviating words for lay use was more convenient for record keeping and transaction than the bulky long forms. There were people who also did that for aesthetic purposes. In hand writing a ligature is made by joining two or more characters in atypical fashion by merging their parts or by writing one above or inside the other. While in printing, a ligature is a group of characters that is typeset as a unit, and the characters do not have to be joined.

Typically, this is the height of the letter x in the font, as well as the v, w, and z. One of the most important dimensions of a font, x-height is used to define how high lower-case letters are compared to upper-case letters. Typefaces with large x-heights may appear darker, heavier, crowded, and more difficult to read at body copy sizes.

One pica is further divided into 12 points. The pica is also used in measuring the font capacity and is applied in the process of copyfitting (is the process of ensuring that a block of text isn't too long or too short to fit the space alloted for it in a document). The font length is measured there by the number of characters per pica. ]]> 2018-09-24 06:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/284868243 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/284868774 The point is the smallest unit of measure.

There are people who don’t like his work because it can be a little messy, but I like the mess. He discards all king of rules and standarts, he doesn’t care about grids and spaces, he likes to create an organized chaos because the postmodern world is too complex to deal with all this. Carson got really famous because of his job as art director in Ray Gun magazine, it was the cool magazine of the nineties which dealt with themes such as music and icons cultures. They used typographical illegibility as a form of freedom so Carson was able to create a new aesthetic language that broke with all the principles in the mass media until then.

The boxes stays at his home in Pittsburgh and people pay 10 dollars to see what is inside those boxes. There are 610 boxes filled with stuff Warhol collected over the course of the last 13 years of his life. They contain hundreds of thousands of objects, artefacts as the curators know them - a Work of Art, according to Warhol. Interesting fact is that Warhol actually worried about the content of those boxes, his personal assistant said it was a selection and that the artist knew exactly which thing was going to which box ("All the times I was helping him packing and sealing them, it's not like he'd just throw stuff in. It was, like, this goes here, this goes there."). There was no concern about which object to put, it was all worth, but each thing had its purpose. He made this boxes to leave a certain legacy, in an interview he said that everything he did was somehow linked to death.]]> 2018-09-24 19:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/285227822 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/285242478 This project was created aiming the worldwide problem of lack of place to park the car.  Parr has photographed the last car parking spaces in more than 28 different countries. This is just one of the problems that we have today with the globalisation. In this video below he is talking about this particular project and he says that it's all about a concept, it wasn't actually the last parking space, but it was about the idea of the project.

The project that caught my attention the most was the coca cola project that consisted in altering reusable Coca-Cola bottles by adding questions, slogans or illustrations in a white font that imitaded the bottle’s brand inscriptions.

They believe in an intersectional feminism that fights discrimination and supports human rights for all people and all genders and have made over 100 street projects, stickers and posters all over the world.

His work is incredibly simple featuring flat colours, minimal detail and negative space to create images that often carry double meanings that are not immediately apparent. He avoids unnecessary detail or decoration that might detract from an image's message.

His early work used a lot of found imagery or combined multiple pieces of abstract imagery to create something new. Munn rarely use abstract imagery now, but he does work with a lot of common objects, changing them in some way to get a different meaning from the objects.

As it gained fame, it spread all over the world. Traditional shadow puppets are flat and made of leather. Areas within the puppet are punched out with sharp knives. These areas suggest facial features and help define clothing. The puppets are made from separate pieces and joined together with wire or string. They are controlled by long rods and moved behind a white translucent screen made from paper or cloth. A lamp on the puppeteer's side of the stage provides the light: the audience on the other side sees the moving shadows. Cut-out areas within the figures allow light to shine through. Nowadays, with all the modern elements and with the knowledge we have, the contemporary shadow theatre can count with a variety of materials and with the mechanical part like lighting effects, projections and things like that. ]]> 2018-10-18 00:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/294146427 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/294152351 Tracking is very similar to kerning in that it is the spacing between individual characters, but tracking is the space between groups of letters rather than individual letters. Tracking will help to eliminate widows and orphans in paragraphs.  Widows are when the final line of a paragraph begins a new column or page.  Orphans are when paragraphs end in single words, part of words or a short phrase that seems out of place.

I think this would stand just between the Animator vs Animation ans the Cyanide and Hapiness because that isn't a lot of work, but he did is concerned about technical issues, I guess not as much as Cyanide, because there is this thing about the unfinished drawings aspect and the supporting characters don't move while one speak, of course I understand that it is due to the practicality, but that bothers me a lot, just don't put a lot of people, make it seem like they are there, something like that.]]> 2018-10-18 01:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/294159790 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/294164484 This one is the one. I loved the simplicity of the drawings, but you can see the animator worked really well in the details and in the motion of the characters. I'm really into black and white drawings using just lines, without shadows and things like that. Besides that, the storys are really cute and the sound design is very pleasurablem, the sound of the tiny paws touching the floor and the cat licking is really convincing. ]]> 2018-10-18 02:21:09 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/294164484 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/294165982 This is a video clip of one of my favorite musics, it was directed by a Canadian artist called Chloe Poirier Sauvé, she uses sand on a light table to draw and she edited the process of the drawings and the drawings itself to create an animation for this video clip. I want to try that sometime, I think it is a very relaxing process and every time I see this video I discover something new (the music contributes to the vibe of the video).

They made it thinking about biographical zines trying to show people how many marginalized figures are overlooked textbooks. Coming from indepdendent producers, these biographies celebrate both unknown historical figures and the spirit of independent publishing.What I like the most is that besides telling a story, the zines look for aesthetics too. They worry about the two most important things. ]]> 2018-10-18 13:46:48 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/294341178 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/294368173 The grandmaster of origami. He is credited with raising origami from a craft to a living art. He created a lot of different techniques as the wet-folding that allows the paper to be manipulated more easily, resulting in finished origami models that have a rounder and more sculpted look. He also created signs so that origami could be passe by readings too, it is because of him that you can learn this technique by books.

Also one work that got my attention was the three screens of the series Black, Brown and Beige, of more contained colors, it pays homage to Duke Ellington, American jazzman, using the rhythm as a form of plastic creation.

She uses different shapes, types and roles that are important for the art construction to complement the illustrations and graphic design.
From all of her works the one I liked the most are definitely the book designs. The one called "Falésia" got my eye, it is delicate and simple and has a unique beauty, there is also one called "Foz" that she works with the same style that is also pretty.

In my assessment, my tutor and I came up with observations that indicated my affinity, for example, my sketchbook, Monique asked why my sketchbook was so organized, she asked me if I wrote the things in a separate sheet and than wrote it in my official sketchbook, but no, I just create the design I want in my head and do it, I can't be the person who use the sketchbook for sketches. At the same time I know I have to practice that, I can't, it makes me wanna do it again and again until I get the result I want. Also I am not interested in any other BA, for illustration we have to draw a lot and I don't think I will ever want to design apps or games, but as everything in life, my opinion and tastes can change. ]]> 2018-11-01 14:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/299380458 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/299383611 One day I was in my way to EBAC and I passed thru a really nice working space that I didn't really know what was it, but it got my attention (I could only see the name written in huge letters at the front Ampfy so I searched on google).

They vary in length from just a single photograph to 60 pages of images made at one street intersection. The most intersting thing about this book is the design he uses for the images, I can't even explain how he does that and luckly I found a video in youtube showing the whole book. He varys the size and the postion of images in the pages and all of this makes sense, he forces us to imagine the scene through this.

She wants to show people the contemporary space of the airports. The work is made up from images that shows us the "normal" perception of the airports like the planes, flight attendants, chairs with people waiting, but it also shows some abstract pictures with bright colors and shapes that portrays the passage of time and the movements. 
The thing that got my attention is how she disposes the similar photographs, sometimes she uses only one page and put the images side by side and sometimes she uses two pages e put the images one in each page (I'm going to upload a picture of an example of a page like this here). I guess she thinks a lot about the impact of the images, some more delicate and simple in some way she puts them all together and with strong bright photos she places them alone. ]]> 2018-11-06 00:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/300779869 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/301232128 2018-11-06 20:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/301232128 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/301232299 2018-11-06 20:55:31 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/301232299 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/301232396 2018-11-06 20:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/301232396 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/303270525 2018-11-12 14:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/303270525 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/307838124 A complete set of Pantone marker pens standing on their base with their nibs facing upright.

It is at the same time fun and intelligent.  ]]> 2019-01-31 13:03:15 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/326241258 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/326263269 He makes intalations and artworks using books. It's simplicity is what fascinates me the most. The works that got my attention were the ones that he used powdered cement and aerated concrete on the top of the books, it felt heavy, you can't ready the book, you can't move him or anything, but you can see it. ]]> 2019-01-31 13:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/326263269 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/326265822 No words for this guys works. It is so delicate and charming, the way he cuts the books to focus only on the words he wants and the collage that has EVERYTHING with the whole context. It is absolutely stunning. Also the models he made with plaster structures and broke it, incredible. 10/10.]]> 2019-01-31 14:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/326265822 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/326351034 Five works and the pieces that inspired them. This article shows us a little bit of Parker's work and five other works that were at least partly inspired by other artists. The one I liked the most was The Distance (A Kiss with String Attached), inspired by Auguste Rodin's The Kiss. One phrase I liked when the author was describing the work was "about how the things that bind people together can also suffocate them.", it gives a whole new meaning to an sculpture that was supposed to be delicate and erotic in some way. ]]> 2019-01-31 16:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/326351034 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/326358625 The idea of the artist in this project was to destroy his works. He did a slide show before that, but not with all of the works. This idea scary me, I would never be able to destroy my projects, even though I don't always like them, I have a certain kind of affection for them all.]]> 2019-01-31 16:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/326358625 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/327515752 2019-02-04 20:02:32 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/327515752 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/327865393 This is one great video made by Tate that gives us something to think about. "Can art change society?", talks about installations, workshops, proposals and every thing related to art and how can they help people in difficult times to get thru what they are going. Art brings us joy and every single thing you do thinking about the next can be a huge difference. 
When you make a project dealing with delicate subjects such as immigrants and homeless people etc, it opens people eyes, they start thinking in something that most of them don't take a time to think about. It is intriguing, they stop to look at it because it catches your attention. ]]> 2019-02-05 16:25:43 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/327865393 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/327870999 It is all about one huge project of an artist called Poul Gernes, that decorated a whole hospital with bright colours. 
The decoration is a really important thing, colours bring feeling to people and it is more comfortable to be in an environment that doesn't look like you are in an actual hospital for example. The colours are always so sad and you keep thinking that you are in a place of treatment.
In one of the patients testimony he says that he likes "that things aren't straight sterile and perfect" and that it has an relaxing effect. You can perfectly see the impact of art in one environment, how it cheers people up, people that usually need this kind of "affection".]]> 2019-02-05 16:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/327870999 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/329187564 This guy is a huge reference for what we are planning to do.

He is one of the bests and it really makes a different when you add words to this kind of work. When you are trying to help someone thru the art you have to communicate something, to pass a message and there is no better way to do that than thru words. Of course we are not thinking about writing a huge text, but just some stimulating words. ]]> 2019-02-08 14:07:01 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/329194071 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/329200046 We want to do something mixturing styles and about the city (buildings, maps, etc.).

He is known for his calligraphic approach to street art. He uses ancient sacred texts and eastern philosophy, which results in geometric patterns found in Muslim art and architecture.]]> 2019-02-08 15:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/329238525 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/329242131 This guys are amazing, they use light glow paint to make grafitti different. During the day one drawing appears, while during the night, another drawing shows up to complement the other.
Here there is one video showing how they work:

Interresting use of collage above the photographs, he draws lines and use bright colors in the pictures.

It is nice to see all his process step by step, each notebook he used, how long he took to make the project, how was his thought line. He also showed us his references and on what he was based to do all of that. It was interesting to see something Michael called a "distinctive" work for assesment. 
In the link I uploaded there is a video explaining how one of his main projects works. It is a book called "dobras" in which each fold you make it creates a whole new shape. ]]> 2019-02-12 16:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/330421430 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/335200775 This is a masterpiece from Peter Daverington. The mixture he makes with classical art and modern art is fascinating. In addition, the use of different techniques in the same canvas, such as normal paint (most likely oil paint), gesso for the white parts and possibly even spray paint and graphite contributes to communicate with this mixing style he presented.
Although it looks digital, what unmasks Daverington in my opinion are the flawed brushstrokes and the ink drained in several points, I understand that it may be equally digital, but I understand that if it was intentional it would be much more apparent and in other points of greater notoriety. It is also nice to comment on the drained effect he can achieve using the plaster, it seems that he only made an intervention in somebody's old work, but again I can affirm that I don't think it is likely, there are 2 more details that prove my point, one of them is the wild pig/boar in the bootom left of the canvas and the modern squared chess-like floor. It caught my eye, I'm really into this mixture of different everything.]]> 2019-02-26 03:44:53 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/335200775 camila_andrade https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/335206345 I didn't found the name of this work, so I guess it just doesn't have a name. It can start right there, why does everything has to have a name? This is one brilliant work and it doesn't have a title to explain anything, you can just interpretate it the way you want to without any external opinions. At first sight you can see the eyes of the famous Mona Lisa and circular cuts in a book that gives an idea of depth as the circles gradually decreases. This also has another purpose, the author limited a space to focus on a single sentence that interested him "Here is the history of painting". The communication with all elements in this work is the key, the eyes of Mona Lisa with this brilliant sentence, the book with a typeface and a cover that reminds us of an old book PLUS the common knowledge of art, all of this brings a lot of subjects to our minds such as one of the most valuable paintings in the world, the work with most secrets and initial techniques that already made literally everyone in the world stop and think even if only for a minute the what is the meaning of art. That is truly the story of painting. ]]> 2019-02-26 04:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/camila_andrade/fy165v6ccrf3/wish/335206345
